RFId-based tracking and safety system

In our country and in the international context, there is a continuous interest in the issue of safety and quality of health care. In scientific literature you can find out that the problem of incorrect identification of patients is often due to errors and omissions in the processes of diagnosis and treatment, such as those found in the administration of drugs or in providing treatment. In healthcare risk of error in identification of the patient can be amplified by critical conditions as the treatment of emergency cases, the involvement of more stakeholders in the management of the case and obviously the specific clinical condition of the patient, such as loss of consciousness or confusion. The department identified in the analysis and study of the pilot project was a Department of Intensive Care. The choice of this department comes from the need to increase the security level of the process of identification of patients and to avoid possible trade. The overall goal of this project is to provide a system of aid for the reduction of cases of incorrect identification of the patient and for monitoring the position of the patient within the hospital. Finally we tested benefits and we provided for the residual error of the new process of identification and traceability after the introduction of RFID systems.
